IMPROVEMENT IN ELECTRO-MAGNETS.

lhe-fichedule referred to in these Letters Patent and making part cf the same I,'HnNRY Moxnon Purse, of Newark, New Jersey,'have invented certain Improvements in Electro- Magnets, of which the following is a specification.

' The object of my invention'is to obtain the same relative results by compounding electro-rnagnets' as are acquired by the compounding of permanent magnets. In order to accomplish this result, I wind the poles of two or more reotangularlbars, .A,'Figures 1 and 2, with insulated wire, .conlmencing at a, fig. '1, on each bar, and winding around the requisite number of turns to reach the guide-pin b, and then pass down to guide pin 0, and wind in same direction tillthe same number of turns has been made on the opposite end of thebar; then return up to guide-pin 0 and l), and up to commencement (1-. Having thus wound two or more bars, (all being wound in the same direction,) I bind them together, as shown in fig. 2, and connection is made between the coils at d.

I do not propose to obtain any valuable result from magnetic induction by this method of constructing electro-u'iaguets, but I do claim an increased dyuaun ical value from the action of the currents on each other.

It is well known that electrical currents moving in opposite directions accelerate each other, and, although the currents are moving in the same direction around the axis of all the. bars, yet, at thejuncture (g, figs. 2 and3, of the combination, their course is directly 0 posite, as shown by the arrows ff in fig. 3, which is
